Unfortnately i ran out of gas last night and was going to get it today but my supplier closed today. Now i must use my flux core wire.

Do i recall reading that i need to change the positive and negative leads in machine for running flux core ?

That entirely depends on wire size. Your contact tip should be sized exactly to the wire you are using, and some machines require different drive rollers in certain size ranges. So if you were going from 0.025" GMAW to 0.035" FCAW, you would have to change one or more of the above.

No double posts please :toetap05: They're even more annoying when they're identical

Then everything else stays the same. Change the polarity & the wire & off you go :)
